Re: Project: Tow-Rat (Lil' Blue)
i updated my cost sheet with a "gearhead math" cost and an actual cost to build. the difference being basically all iterations of the project including anywhere i made/lost money changing plans.
i started with the '55 6400 ... was a survivor n i sold it for a +$2000 profit then got this 3800 ... -$610 into it after selling the engine/trans and seat parted out a 4th gen Camaro for a t56 that i later sold ... total part-out +$500 profit was going to mate the t56 to the TDI from my Golf ... fuel savings paid for the car, sold for +$3000 a c10 chassis and built the IFS for V1.0, that i later sold ... parted it all down for +$250 profit drove home the $500 YJ, fixed it ... traded straight up for the 96 cummins ram parted down cummins ram ... -$400 into keeping the 12v n frame built the ram chassis and sold it to build the new hotness ... lost -$750 on that all-in I'm doing ok so far, neither number is hateful all things considered. i think i'm on track that once "fully functional" i'd be able to sell it for at least the actual (higher) cost. |
